The Library

Delicious desserts, although they rotate the menus and it is sometimes nowhere near as good as other times. The cocktails are fantastic, if pricey. It's a cool bar with an awesome aesthetic, good vibes, however the wait staff can be rude and stand-offish at times. The last time I was there, we ended up leaving before ordering anything, because we asked to be seated in one of the side rooms, since it was very loud in the main bar and we wanted a quieter environment - however, despite the fact that both of the side rooms were clearly half-empty while the bar was nearly full, the wait staff member we asked was very rude and reluctant to fulfill our request. I work in customer service myself and understand that some requests can be difficult to accommodate, but this one didn't seem unreasonable.
Basically, The Library used to be an absolute top-notch venue, and it doesn't quite measure up these days, but still a very good bar which I would still recommend. Better on a 2-4-1 night, though.

A must-do for visitors to Wellington! Pretty pricey, but worth it if you come to one of their 2 for 1 nights. Staff are lovely, can be a bit busy.

This place is COOL. Awesome upstairs cocktail bar, replete with books, hence the names. Very good for cocktails and a favorite with ladies so a good place for a date or to take your partner out to. Service is excellent and the spot has a good atmosphere.

The best place in Wellington to have a cocktail. Atmosphere is amazing and I could stay here for hours. Great personal service.

Expensive and a little exclusive but very classy and elegant. The walls are lined with books and it is a popular place so there's often a wait for a table. During Christmas be sure to try their special cocktails and you won't be disappointed.
